Happy Almost Thanksgiving! Thanksgiving is just one week away. Can you believe it? November, much like the rest of this year, has flown by. I honestly keep forgetting about the holiday, as I’m longing for Christmas. It’s also pretty tough to celebrate Thanksgiving aka “Turkey Day.” No one else in my family is vegan or …

Happy Tuesday! Guys, Minnesota isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. Sure, we have nice people and a great sense of community. But the weather leaves a little something to be desired. It’s been cold and windy the past two days. It went from way too warm (literally almost 80 last week) to 40 and …

It’s been a whole week! Sorry for the little delay in posts. My boyfriend, Patrick, and I went camping along Lake Superior for a few days. We spent that time off the grid (mostly), and it was really nice to connect with just each other and nature. Cheesy, I know. The North Shore is one …

Let’s talk ramen. I have a confession to make. One of my favorite foods prior to being vegan and gluten free was ramen. Not authentic ramen… the ramen packs you could buy for a quarter at the grocery store. I used to eat these salty snacks all the time. Shun me, please! However, I’ve now …

Happy Monday! I don’t know about you guys, but I think Mondays are one of the most important days of the week. Of course, they usually suck, but they’re important. They set the tone for your whole week. I try to make my Mondays as easy as possible to get my week off to a …

I’m feeling festive! I ended my last post saying “bring on the pumpkin spice.” And I meant it! When it’s fall, I want absolutely everything pumpkin. Pumpkin candles, pumpkin spice lattes, pumpkin decorations, and pumpkin flavors! While I love a nice savory dish, my favorite way to enjoy pumpkin is in sweets. However, I don’t …

Happy Monday! Fall is upon us! Without a doubt, fall is my favorite season. I love to bundle up in cozy sweaters and knit socks. I love the cool weather and beautiful fall leaves. But my favorite part is the food – warm soups, stewed apples, and most of all, anything pumpkin or squash-related. My …

Hello friends! I don’t know about you guys, but I’m getting in the fall spirit. After a whopping 90 degrees this past weekend, it’s finally getting cool outside in Minnesota. Yesterday, it was a perfect 60 degrees. So obviously I had to make soup! What’s your favorite soup ingredient? Mine is definitely potatoes… actually, potatoes …

Let’s talk tacos. Before I went vegan, I wasn’t a big fan of Mexican food. It was always too heavy for me. It made me feel bloated and a little sick. I never really knew why. But now I know I’m sensitive to fat and dairy, so it isn’t a mystery anymore! That’s all changed …

Hello friends! Let’s talk tempeh. This might be my favorite food. Ever. For those of you who might be unfamiliar, tempeh is a fermented soy product. It usually has rice or other grains added. I think this is the best way to eat soy. It has lots of fiber and protein. It is virtually unprocessed. …
